    There is noplace like the bed.
    It is as dry as snuff.
    It is as black as pitch,
    It is as dark as pitch.
    Too late, to sharp the sword when the drum is beating to battle.
    It is white as snow.
    Too late tospare when all is spent.
    If a begger was put on horse back he would out ride the devil.
    It is as red as a rose.
    As coldas ice.
    One fool makes many.
    No rose without a thorn.
